aquascape had this gorgeus 16" piraya pictured below
there asking $1500 for it, to me this sounds like alot and is there any chance that you can find these guy in the 14-16" range for $800-$1000 range? anyone seen any sold for that amount?

The one piranha I want again.. Had a small one buy it died.. Nicest p IMO.. The price was warranted when they were altogether hard to find, and IMO still might be warrented because it would take a long time for a small one to get 16" if ever. Everyone said they grow fast but the majority I've seen don't.

That place I told you about has some 12"+ piraya for 500.00 ish..
 
In my experience piraya grow fast, though I doubt youd get one to that size in an aquarium. Mine went from 3" to 8" in about 6 months.

I dont think you will find another at that size for sale very easily. If the price is ok with you, then go for it.

It is possible to find them in the 10-12" range for ALOT cheaper though.
 
that is a fair price

it may seem lots but they are very rare at that size
you could also get a rhom that size since it would be cheaper (cant shoal though) but again with a 16" piraya you would need at least 12" other piranha
 
I have seen many videos of a 20+" piraya with a bunch of other piraya around 7-8"
 
At 16 inch they are more far and few between 1,500$ :popcorn: Don't know .

A fish is only worth the amount someone is willing to pay for it . Thy
have had that Piraya for 5 months that I know of so how long before that
I duno . :popcorn:

If I had a spar 1,500 $ I WOULD BUY IT LIKE I SAID 16" WOW > :popcorn:
 
not a big market for that fish, offer him a grand, what do you have to lose?
